Companies that previously clashed with President-elect Trump are now donating seven-figure dollar amounts to his 2025 inauguration.
“In the first term, everyone was fighting me. This time, everyone wants to be my friend,” Trump said at Mar-a-Lago, per The Washington Post.
Despite past feuds with Fortune 500 executives, many are now supporting his exclusive inaugural events following his November victory. For example, Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, suspended Trump’s accounts after Jan. 6, which Trump criticized as an “insult” to his voters, later accusing Zuckerberg of “plotting” against him in his book Save America.
The relationship shifted as the election approached, with Zuckerberg praising Trump’s resilience after surviving a July assassination attempt, calling his fist pump “one of the most bada– things” he’d seen. Following Trump’s election victory, Zuckerberg met with him at Mar-a-Lago, and Meta later donated $1 million to his inauguration fund.
“Mark Zuckerberg has been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of and a participant in this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading,” Trump adviser Stephen Miller said during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
Despite past tensions with Trump, Amazon, Ford, GM, and Toyota have each pledged $1 million to his inauguration fund. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder and owner of The Washington Post, had clashed with Trump but joined other major corporations in supporting the event. Intuit, facing stock drops after reports of a potential government tax-filing app by DOGE, will donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

Just weeks ago, they abandoned their anti-white DEI policies, and now they’re scrambling to undo the wokeness.
